    PCSPECIALIST The waiting thread....

    A thread for those who've ordered but are enduring the agonising wait between order and receipt. Put it in the laptop section for now but please feel free to move. -------------------------------------- After 8 working days of pre-production, my order was built this morning, tested this...

    PCSPECIALIST A waiting thread

    To stop those multiple "I'm waiting" threads, how about a single superthread where everybody can talk about having to wait xxx days for their system? EDIT: I'd start one but no idea where to start it. So will put it in the laptops section.

    PCSPECIALIST Upgrade to 3D?

    I've been nosing around a bit more and it turns out the 580M should support 3D. Now, I still think it's a bit of a gimmick, probably best on a large screen (eg cinema) and not worth going for. But.......... If I later changed my mind, can the screen be swapped? Does anything else need to be...

    PCSPECIALIST Glossy or matte?

    I've ordered the Vortex II with a matte screen. My old laptop was matte and my netbook is matte too, so I had no qualms about deciding whether to go for matte or glossy. My sister has a glossy screen laptop and it's annoying to have the light reflecting off it, which would be a PITA for working...

    PCSPECIALIST Hooooooooooooooo!

    Posted a couple of times and then saw this section. :stupid: Anyway, figured I'd say hi. My old laptop broke after seven years of duty. Loved it - Acer 1682WLMi but during the last few years, it started to fall apart. The first to go was the wireless antenna. No problem - plugged in a PCMCIA...

    PCSPECIALIST Naughty laptop

    My seven year old Acer laptop broke after my sister spilt some water on it. So after some deliberation, I've decided to go all out. A few years ago, I ordered a £3000 laptop from Rock, but after much messing about (including them not delivering during the week I had taken off work, despite being...
